Rewrite rules not working

[url]http://bloggeries.com/blog[/url] [url]http://bloggeries.com/blog/[/url] I checked the main .htaccess and it's fine. Here's what I've got in the blog directory: # BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteRule ^/*(.+/)?([^.]*[^/])$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/blog/$1$2/ [L,R=301] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.bloggeries\.com Rewriterule (.*) http://www.bloggeries.com/blog/$1 [R=permanent,L] RewriteRule ^home/blogger/public_html/blog /blog/ [R=301,L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L] # END WordPress"

chris3471 said: "Strange, it's working now. Maybe it took some tome to take effect."

Darren said: "Makes no sense. Is your old server still running?"

chris3471 said: "No idea. I know the night before last the site went down for a while, don't know why though, could have been Jamey working on something. Anyway though the mod_rewrite rules had reverted back to the old ones. I changed them back to the new ones but it didn't take effect right away. :eek:"

Darren said: "All's well that end's well."

chris3471 said: "Thankfully, I was so worried that we were going to have to go back to the drawing board."

Darren said: "Make a complete backup of a working configuration. It can come in handy later."

chris3471 said: "I did that the first time. Then I forgot where I put it. So I went back through the thread and got the right configuration and changed the file. Then I found the backup, I had put it in the file that Dreamweaver set up for the local site. Well I won't forget where it is now though."
